Soundbar Deals

The Polk Audio Signa 4 (7/10, WIRED Recommends) is an ideal pick if you’re looking for a basic soundbar but don’t want to sacrifice on quality. It produces great bass, is simple to set up, and has an unobtrusive design that should look good in most living rooms.

The Bose Smart Soundbar 900 has historically been pretty expensive, but this deal brings it down to a more accessible price. It features a luxury design, Dolby Atmos, and an impressively immersive sound.

If the Bose 900 somehow isn’t up to your standards, the Smart Ultra Soundbar should be able to deliver. It has better bass extension over the 900, true upfiring drivers, and supports a virtual surround sound environment. We like this soundbar a lot, and we’ve never seen it’s price drop. Until now.

The Bose Smart Soundbar 600 offers clear and expansive sound despite its relatively small size. It uses upfiring drivers for immersive overhead effects and puts out some punchy bass, without all the complicated setup that many surround sound systems require.

There’s something to be said for a dead-simple and super-cheap solution, and this soundbar from Samsung proves that beautifully. The normal price for this soundbar is a bit too expensive, but on this sale, it offers a great upgrade over the speakers in your TV at a nearly impulse-buy cost.

Another excellent baseline soundbar, Yamaha’s SR-C20A provides a solid alternative to built-in TV speakers. It supports Bluetooth streaming and it’s small enough that you can even move it from room to room if you want to.

Klipsch has set itself apart from other soundbar manufacturers by focusing primarily on audio quality without a ton of bells and whistles. The Cinema 600 is built from a speaker-like MDF cabinet and paired with a massive 10-inch subwoofer driver. It provides a clear, powerful sound that’s great for music, movies, and more.

Sony’s HT-A5000 is a pricey proposition at full cost, but it’s a killer deal at this price thanks to engulfing surround sound expansion and just about all the features you can pack into a bar this size. Extras include next-gen HDMI with VRR support for PS5 or Xbox Series X consoles, multiple ways to stream over Wi-Fi, support for both Dolby Atmos and DTS:X, hi-res audio, and more.

Believe it or not, this is the lowest price we’ve seen on this luxury Sennheiser model that’s as much trapeze artist as it is soundbar thanks to its high-flying virtual surround sound and Dolby Atmos tricks. It’s a hefty unit and doesn’t include a separate subwoofer, but still manages to serve up punchy grooves, sweet and smooth musicality, and great convenience features like Wi-Fi streaming and an analog input, all at a price that has finally swung below the stratosphere.

Surround Sound System Deals

Vizio is one of our favorite soundbar brands for their excellent value, and the M-Series 5.1.2 soundbar (9/10, WIRED Recommends) is a perfect example of why. This soundbar comes with a pair of wireless rear speakers and puts out highly immersive sound, particularly for its price.

It’s been a couple years since we first reviewed Vizio’s original Elevate soundbar (9/10 Wired Review) but it still delivers excellent sound. It is easy to set up and supports Dolby Atmos to provide room-filling audio, and its corner speakers are simple to position for the exact right placement in your living room.

The multi-piece JBL Bar 1300X (8/10 Wired Recommends) is unique among the soundbars we’ve tested. It has a pair of magnetic, detachable speakers that you can place behind you for immersive surround sound. They’re fully wireless, so they don’t even need power cables. However, they need to be regularly returned to the soundbar…
